GENERAL INFORMATION
OBJECT OF THE SUMMER SESSION
The Summer Session is intended to provide instruction for regular
students of this and other colleges and universities and for those en-
gaged during the winter in teaching.
LOCATION
The location of Shaw University is especially convenient, situated
practically in the heart of the Capital City. No car or cab fares will be
necessary to visit the shopping district, State Department of Education,
State Museum, State Library, Hall of History, and other places of
educational interest. An exceedingly bracing and healthful climate
makes this city an ideal place for residence and study.
FACULTY
The faculty for the Summer Session will be composed primarily of
the regular members of the Shaw University faculty, together with
additional specialists in the field of education.
LIBRARY
A well-equipped and attractive library, consisting of approximately
24,362 books, is located in Tyler Hall. It is supervised by a competent
librarian who aids the students in their reference work and guides
them in their general reading. Magazines and daily and weekly news-
papers provide means for the information of students on current
events. It is the aim of the Administration to make the library a place of
great usefulness in the education of the students in technical knowledge
and general culture.
OBSERVATION AND DIRECTED TEACHING FACILITIES
Local conditions make it impossible for the University to offer obser-
vation and directed teaching facilities during the summer.
DORMITORY FACILITIES
Persons desiring dormitory accommodations during the Summer
School should indicate that fact to the Registrar, not later than May 31 ;
send key deposit of $2.00 with application prior to that date, making
money-order payable to Shaw University. The University has adequate
housing for those who desire to live on the campus. The women students
are under the supervision of the Dean of Women who is assisted by
dormitory hostesses, and the men students are under the supervision of
the Dean of Men and assistants.
Shaw University Bulletin 5
RECREATION
Tennis, croquet, softball, and sightseeing tours are among the forms
of recreation provided by the University.
In addition, several social events are held for the students and
faculty of the Summer School.
TEACHERS EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
The Bureau has secured each year a large number of teaching and
administrative positions for graduates and former students. It exists
for the double purpose of supplying the needs of school officials over
the State and of helping students and former students to find teaching
and administrative positions for which they are best suited.
ASSEMBLY
Assembly exercises are held in Greenleaf Memorial Hall periodically
during the session. All students are expected to attend these exercises.
Special addresses are arranged and interesting recitals presented.
REGISTRATION
Teachers are requested to bring their certificates, credit slips from
summer schools previously attended, diplomas or other evidences of
training. These will be needed for registration the first day. No student
should expect to enter and receive credit after Friday, June 8.
ADMISSION
Written application should be made and forwarded in advance. A
transcript signed by the president or principal of the school attended,
containing a full record of the subjects pursued by the student with
the time devoted to each, and his standing in the same, should be sent
to the Registrar of the University before the student registers. Appli-
cation blanks will be furnished on request and should be filled out and
returned promptly.

WORKSHOP-SEMINAR FOR PRINCIPALS,
SUPERVISORS AND TEACHERS
Because of the success of the workshop-seminar of other years, plans
are being made to provide a workshop-seminar for teachers, principals,
and supervisors. The workshop-seminar is designed to give its members
an opportunity to clarify their thinking on problems of educational
philosophy, and to give them assistance in denning educational objec-
tives. Each member will be given a chance to work on problems which
are encountered in his particular school situation. Those who bring
similar problems will be encouraged to work in small, informal groups.
In addition, they will have easy access to the services of a group of
sympathetic and competent workshop specialists.
Those who attend will be given credit for six semester hours. These
hours will fulfill the state's requirement for certificate renewal, and, at
the same time, will satisfy a requirement in reading or methods for
those who may be changing a high school certificate to a primary or
grammar grade A.
Those interested in the development of reading programs for their
schools will be given opportunities to work in this area. Members of
our staff, persons from the State Department of Public Instruction,
and competent workshop consultants from colleges and universities in
this section will be available for special assistance.
Registration for workshop will begin June 6. Special fee of $6.00 in
addition to regular charges.
For further information, please feel free to communicate with the
Director of Summer School.

a period of years, women who have completed the total program will
receive a certificate. These are not the courses which are to be taken
by the students in the college working for the A. B. degree with a major
in Religious Education, but are designed for women who are already in
the missionary program in their churches, or wish to prepare them-
selves for the improvement of such activities.
